This year, Science Centre Singapore (SCS), in partnership with Horizon Educational and Chevron Singapore Pte Ltd (Chevron), will host the inaugural Horizon Hydrogen Grand Prix (H2GP) Singapore series, energised by Chevron.
Organised by Horizon Educational, the programme allows students to design, engineer, and race small model remote-controlled fuel cell cars powered by hydrogen, developing STEM skills. The racing series is the only global school-based educational programme offering high school students an opportunity to understand the entire hydrogen value chain.
The programme is a unique opportunity for students in Singapore to engage in hands-on learning and enhance their awareness of sustainable energy. Students will be required to produce their very own hydrogen and store it in specialised canisters before using it to power self-built model remote-controlled fuel cell cars. The programme exposes participants to the exploration and application of hydrogen fuel cell technology while also encouraging transferable skills like teamwork, creativity, and innovation.
